“This offer is no longer available”
Same links Dr. of Credit had which no longer lead anywhere which is why they updated their recent post to say “expired”.
Updated – thanks
Got the Surpass back in January with these offers. With the $150 credit and the $95 fee is it safe to spend approximately $2095 only..
Does AmEx ever match offers? I just got the Hilton Business card less than a month ago. I’ve already reached the spend and received my bonus points.
Usually no
Keeps referring me to the free night offer after spending $15,000. Must have to be very targeted to get the 150,000 points and 150 credit as those do not come up for me at all.
